Apo Six. A conspiracy of silence

The last time this infamous case of police brutality came up in court, it was adjourned to November 15. It’s been over two weeks since then yet no news. It seems the country have quietly moved on from this most egregious case of extra judicial killing while the perpetrators walk free.

What’s so sad about it all is that given the corrupt and inept nature of Nigeria’s law enforcement agencies, such a case is likely to repeat itself and when it does we’ll all be guilty because if we had seen to it that the perpetrators of Apo Six were brought to book, it wouldn’t have happened again. It takes more than words to build the country of our dreams, where’s the action?
